GEOG 7. Physical Geography: The Earth's Surface
A survey of those elements of the physical environment at the
earth-atmosphere contact. Fundamentals of landform features,
soils, natural vegetation, and water bodies.
Units: 3
Course Typically Offered: Spring
GEOG 25. Critical Thinking in Geography
Fundamentals of critical thinking with emphasis on: evaluating
claims, geographical and cultural influences on perception,
